WELDERQUAL (SQL/ORACLE 4. 16.21554) AUGUST 15 T H 2014 CUSTOMER RELEASE

This release of Welderqual includes the code rules of the new ISO 9606-1:2013, as well as EN 2871:2011. When creating an EN/ISO welder qualification, you can choose the code rules from either
standard. The major changes to the software for ISO 9606-1 are:
1. The inclusion of 3 year retest and 'no revalidation required' when a company is accredited to ISO
3834 (see clause 9.3).
2. The addition of the combined butt/fillet test to qualify butt welds and fillet welds.
3. The addition of rules relating to filler metal grouping and sample filler material specifications.
4. The relaxation of rules about parent materials and parent material groupings.
5. Changes to the rules relating to welding positions qualified.
6. The addition of rules relating to filler material types and ranges qualified.
7. The addition of fields for current type and shielding gas, where appropriate.
8. The designation has been amended to reflect the new standard and new variables.
According to BSI, either EN 287-1 or ISO 9606-1 can be used until October 2015 when qualifying
welders according to PED. Client requirements may vary from this.
Note also that the BSI committee has included a clause in the National foreword explaining that it
prefers the methods of revalidation described in 9.3a and 9.3b to the method described in 9.3c.
